AZZ’s GalvXtra galvanizing process uses a proprietary formulation of molten metals that produces the most consistent coating thickness available while also creating an even, enduring finish. Part of a four-step, hot-dip galvanizing process, GalvXtra meets ASTM A123, ASTM A153, and ASTM B6 requirements to deliver high-quality zinc coatings on ferrous materials.
Steel arriving at AZZ’s galvanizing plant undergoes a thorough inspection to ensure drainage and venting requirements are met. Once in the staging area, careful handling ensures the material is transported efficiently and effectively through the initial cleaning process.
A critical part of the process is cleaning, which begins with a complete immersion in a hot alkali solution, to remove organic compounds and dirt. Next acid pickling removes rust or scale and finally fluxing eliminates surface oxides to promote intermetallic development.
The steel is submerged in a bath of molten zinc until it reaches 840° F (449° C). At this point, the zinc reacts with the steel to form zinc/iron intermetallic layers on all surfaces inside and out.
The galvanized steel is cleaned, weighed, and carefully inspected. Calibrated instrumentation ensures quality standards are met and coating thickness, appearance, and compliance with ASTM specifications are all reviewed before final approval. Once completed, the galvanized product is ready to be shipped. AZZ can assist you with your transportation requirements.

To ensure the highest performance from galvanized steel, AZZ utilizes a proprietary formulation of molten metals. The GalvXtra® formulation has been field tested and proven to provide a more uniform coating and an enduring finish through the resistance of the reaction of deoxidized steel to the molten zinc. GalvXtra meets international ASTM quality standards A123, ASTM A153, and ASTM B6 for zinc coatings on ferrous materials.
AZZ’s environmentally friendly, proprietary galvanizing process does not emit volatile organic compounds or hazardous air pollutants, and the use of sustainable, 100% recyclable galvanized steel as a construction material qualifies as a green building practice eligible for certification points under the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system.
